Property and insurance firms team to place healthcare workers in suitable accommodation

Over the course of the Covid-19 crisis, healthcare workers have made up one-in-four cases of the virus, with the HSE and the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) advising workers to avoid shared accommodation in order to protect loved ones and housemates.

In the face of issues surrounding accommodation for frontline workers practicing social distancing away from the workplace, property website Daft.ie has unveiled a new initiative to match healthcare workers with hosts temporarily donating their properties for free.
